A restorative treatment like no other, these clever false teeth can fill gaps in your smile and return both bite and chewing function. If you\u2019re still in the dark about tooth implants, don\u2019t worry \u2013 our article answers some common questions about them, helping you make an informed decision. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What are dental\nimplants?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As we\u2019ve mentioned, they\u2019re false teeth. They\u2019re matched to\nthe colour of your natural, remaining teeth for a seamless look, and are made\nof porcelain, known for being a hard-wearing and realistic-looking material\n(it\u2019s the same thing crowns and veneers are made of). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Why have tooth\nimplants?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Some people feel embarrassed about gaps in their smile, and\nothers find it hard to manage with normal biting, chewing and other functions\nif they have multiple missing teeth. Tooth implants are convenient, realistic,\ndurable and long-lasting, restoring your smile to its former glory (and your\nconfidence, too). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What happens during\ndental implant treatment?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The process involves various steps:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Consultation: this is an assessment of your smile. We might take moulds, impressions or scans of your teeth, and we\u2019ll examine your teeth in detail, too. It all helps check whether the treatment is suitable for you. It can also identify any concerns, for example, gum recession, which may need to be treated (if possible) ahead of dental implants.<\/li><li>Treatment: The treatment is carried out under anaesthetic. Although tooth implants are classed as a type of surgery, it\u2019s a minimally-invasive procedure and generally free from complications. The tooth implant is placed in two parts, root then crown, with the metal root inserted first. A period of healing is needed in between. <\/li><li>Aftercare: During the healing period, and after your crown placement, you\u2019ll need to follow aftercare advice. Your dentist will talk you through this in detail. <\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Do tooth implants\nhurt?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The surgery itself is performed under a local anaesthetic,\nso you won\u2019t feel any pain at the time, but you may experience some discomfort\nor soreness afterwards. Usually, over-the-counter pain relief is all that\u2019s\nneeded to manage this. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What about cost?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Although dental implants might be expensive on the surface, they can be a one-time cost as, with the right care, your tooth implants can last a lifetime. If you\u2019re concerned about cost, talk to us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Are tooth implants\neasy to care for?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Absolutely: just brush and floss as you would normally, and\ndon\u2019t forget regular dental check-ups. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How do I book?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Interested in our dental implants?
